Grand Old Pie-throwing

WashPost breaks down who won the GOP debate last night. I agree on two assessments:

  1. Every time Republicans pick one Democratic candidate to attack (in this case, Sen. Hillary Clinton) it puts that candidate at the top of the list. It essentially tells the audience, "don't worry about those other guys. This is the person to look for after the primaries." The GOP wants Clinton to be the Democratic Party nominee so bad they can taste it; but will this strategy work?
  2. If the Republicans were piling on Clinton, then they were all but abandoning President Bush. At least in the debate, that is. They've pretty much said Bush-like things during the debate (particularly on "the War," gay people, and religion) but the new tactic is to paint Bush as...a liberal. Not sure how they can sell that, considering his entire administration is/was made of of neo-conservatives (unless the goal is to paint neo-conservatism as being an abstract form of liberalism).

Of course this proves that it's infinitely easier to talk about who you're not than to talk about who you are.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
